137 * rcu_read_lock - mark the beginning of an RCU read-side critical section.
139 * When synchronize_rcu() is invoked on one CPU while other CPUs
140 * are within RCU read-side critical sections, then the
141 * synchronize_rcu() is guaranteed to block until after all the other
142 * CPUs exit their critical sections. Similarly, if call_rcu() is invoked
143 * on one CPU while other CPUs are within RCU read-side critical
144 * sections, invocation of the corresponding RCU callback is deferred
145 * until after the all the other CPUs exit their critical sections.
147 * Note, however, that RCU callbacks are permitted to run concurrently
148 * with RCU read-side critical sections. One way that this can happen
149 * is via the following sequence of events: (1) CPU 0 enters an RCU
150 * read-side critical section, (2) CPU 1 invokes call_rcu() to register
151 * an RCU callback, (3) CPU 0 exits the RCU read-side critical section,
152 * (4) CPU 2 enters a RCU read-side critical section, (5) the RCU
153 * callback is invoked. This is legal, because the RCU read-side critical
154 * section that was running concurrently with the call_rcu() (and which
155 * therefore might be referencing something that the corresponding RCU
156 * callback would free up) has completed before the corresponding
157 * RCU callback is invoked.
159 * RCU read-side critical sections may be nested. Any deferred actions
160 * will be deferred until the outermost RCU read-side critical section
161 * completes.
163 * It is illegal to block while in an RCU read-side critical section.
165 #define rcu_read_lock() \
166 do { \
167 preempt_disable(); \
168 __acquire(RCU); \
169 } while(0)
172 * rcu_read_unlock - marks the end of an RCU read-side critical section.
174 * See rcu_read_lock() for more information.
176 #define rcu_read_unlock() \
177 do { \
178 __release(RCU); \
179 preempt_enable(); \
180 } while(0)
183 * So where is rcu_write_lock()? It does not exist, as there is no
184 * way for writers to lock out RCU readers. This is a feature, not
185 * a bug -- this property is what provides RCU's performance benefits.
186 * Of course, writers must coordinate with each other. The normal
187 * spinlock primitives work well for this, but any other technique may be
188 * used as well. RCU does not care how the writers keep out of each
189 * others' way, as long as they do so.
193 * rcu_read_lock_bh - mark the beginning of a softirq-only RCU critical section
195 * This is equivalent of rcu_read_lock(), but to be used when updates
196 * are being done using call_rcu_bh(). Since call_rcu_bh() callbacks
197 * consider completion of a softirq handler to be a quiescent state,
198 * a process in RCU read-side critical section must be protected by
199 * disabling softirqs. Read-side critical sections in interrupt context
200 * can use just rcu_read_lock().
203 #define rcu_read_lock_bh() \
204 do { \
205 local_bh_disable(); \
206 __acquire(RCU_BH); \
207 } while(0)
210 * rcu_read_unlock_bh - marks the end of a softirq-only RCU critical section
212 * See rcu_read_lock_bh() for more information.
214 #define rcu_read_unlock_bh() \
215 do { \
216 __release(RCU_BH); \
217 local_bh_enable(); \
218 } while(0)
221 * rcu_dereference - fetch an RCU-protected pointer in an
222 * RCU read-side critical section. This pointer may later
223 * be safely dereferenced.
225 * Inserts memory barriers on architectures that require them
226 * (currently only the Alpha), and, more importantly, documents
227 * exactly which pointers are protected by RCU.
230 #define rcu_dereference(p) ({ \
231 typeof(p) _________p1 = p; \
232 smp_read_barrier_depends(); \
233 (_________p1); \
237 * rcu_assign_pointer - assign (publicize) a pointer to a newly
238 * initialized structure that will be dereferenced by RCU read-side
239 * critical sections. Returns the value assigned.
241 * Inserts memory barriers on architectures that require them
242 * (pretty much all of them other than x86), and also prevents
243 * the compiler from reordering the code that initializes the
244 * structure after the pointer assignment. More importantly, this
245 * call documents which pointers will be dereferenced by RCU read-side
246 * code.
249 #define rcu_assign_pointer(p, v) ({ \
250 smp_wmb(); \
251 (p) = (v); \
255 * synchronize_sched - block until all CPUs have exited any non-preemptive
256 * kernel code sequences.
258 * This means that all preempt_disable code sequences, including NMI and
259 * hardware-interrupt handlers, in progress on entry will have completed
260 * before this primitive returns. However, this does not guarantee that
261 * softirq handlers will have completed, since in some kernels, these
262 * handlers can run in process context, and can block.
264 * This primitive provides the guarantees made by the (now removed)
265 * synchronize_kernel() API. In contrast, synchronize_rcu() only
266 * guarantees that rcu_read_lock() sections will have completed.
267 * In "classic RCU", these two guarantees happen to be one and
268 * the same, but can differ in realtime RCU implementations.
